Handbook of Logic in Computer Science: Volume 2. Background: Computational Structures

We are happy to present the first volumes of the 'Handbook of Logic in Computer Science.' Logic is now widely recognized to be one of the foundational disciplines of computing and has found applications in virtually all aspects of the subject, from software engineering and hardware to programming language and artificial intelligence. There is a growing need for an in depth survey of the application of logic in computer science and AI. The 'Handbook of Logic in Computer Science' and its companion, the 'Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Programming' have been created in response to this need.
